Amazing record of bravery and humility.
Rest well.

His first post-war job was as a prison warder at Barlinnie, but spent most of the rest of his working life in Aberdeen as a tile fixer, retiring in 1979.
Mr Storie lived a quiet life in the village of Muchalls outside Aberdeen, displaying no hint that he had once been one of the country’s most courageous master saboteurs.

Gone,but not forgotten.
God Bless,Rest in Peace Warrior..... 
He was just a simple soldier and his ranks are growing thin
But his presence should remind us; we may need his like again,
For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.
If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.......
Perhaps just a simple headline in the paper that might say:
OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, FOR A SOLDIER DIED TODAY. (author unknown)
The passing of our soldiers often go unnoticed and unsung by most of the world, remembered only by family and friends. Wish it were not so. May he RIP, his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.........
I realize it's a Canadian song,however I believe most appropriate for this occasion...
